What Ocrim S.p.A does

Ocrim S.p.A. is an Italian industrial capital-equipment company founded in 1945 in Cremona that designs, engineers, manufactures, and commissions turnkey milling plants and grain-processing systems. The company serves industrial flour, semolina, maize, and animal-feed milling operators globally, acting as General Contractor with single-point-of-contact responsibility from project concept through commissioning. Its core technology stack comprises proprietary High Efficiency Flow milling layouts, a Modular Milling Concept enabling partial-shutdown maintenance, Industry 4.0-compliant in-house automation, and the Management@mill proprietary software for real-time plant monitoring.

The product portfolio is platform-plus-modules: core turnkey mills (Molino and Compact Mill/Superior) anchor the offering, complemented by acquired or partnered subsystems for end-of-line bagging and palletizing (Paglierani, Ocrim-FBC), storage (SIMA, acquired January 2024), couscous and supply-chain (BIA), plus aftermarket revenue streams via Oparts (spare-parts e-commerce), Oservice (technical support), and the Scuola di Tecnologia Molitoria training school. The company maintains production across roughly 30,000 sqm at the Cremona canal-port site and is adding a further ~20,000 sqm at Via Milano, targeted for end of 2025.

The business model is enterprise B2B with direct field sales led by Sales Director Fabrizio Baccinelli and Commercial Director Stefano Mazzini. Revenue is generated through custom-quoted turnkey projects (multi-year contracts) plus hardware sales, professional services, and e-commerce spare-parts transactions. Ocrim operates in 80 countries with a 2024-installed base that includes Universal Robina Corporation (Philippines, two 660 T/D lines), Sanabel Group (Angola, 350 T/24h), Rogers Foods (Canada), and Progeo Group (Italy). The Antolini family remains controlling shareholders; CEO Alberto Antolini leads the company alongside Dr. Sergio Antolini and operating directors.
